Oh, god bless our friends at Tatler. This is a bit old, but enjoyable: 10 things you didn’t know about the Crown Jewels. I really liked this one: “During the State Opening of Parliament in 1845, the Duke of Argyll, who was carrying the Imperial State Crown on a cushion, awkwardly let it slip off and crash to the ground. Queen Victoria described it as ‘all crushed and squashed, looking like a pudding that had sat down’.” I’m going to steal that for something.
